Wanna be on the telly?

When will I, will I be famous? This year, if you’re crazy enough. Big Brother 8 auditions will be held in Manchester this weekend…

Published on February 2nd 2007.

Big Brother. Try as you might, you can’t avoid it. Despite starting each series with a determined resolution to not see ANY of it, by halfway through you’ve succumbed to the peer pressure and find yourself at 4 in the morning, Sauvignon Blanc in hand, watching snoozing contestants in night vision - afraid to turn over in case someone falls out of bed and you miss it.

You can’t beat it, so why not join it? And I’m not talking about joining in the office chit chat about which housemate did what. I’m talking about literally joining it.

This weekend Manchester will hold open auditions for the eighth series of Big Brother, to be filmed over the summer months.

If you can see a reason why millions of people across the country would want to watch you for a summer, then bob along to the auditions, which will be taking place on Saturday the 3rd and Sunday the 4th at New Century House.

And if you’re scratching your head like we were and wondering where on earth New Century House is, it’s opposite Victoria Station on Corporation Street. Here’s the website – www.newcenturyhouse.co.uk.

Auditions begin at 9am, and there are likely to be queues, so remember your packed lunch.
